The Chief Justice of Madras High Court Indira Banerjee on Monday agreed with a public interest litigation petitioner that it was not right on the part of 124 AIADMK MLAs to have stayed in a resort on the outskirts of the city during February 2017 when the entire State was facing a political turmoil.
She expressed her disapproval during the hearing of the petition filed by K. Ravi questioning the validity of a motion of confidence moved by Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami on February 18, 2017, and declared to have been passed by Speaker P. Dhanapal following a voice vote in which 122 AIADMK MLAs voted in favour of the motion.
